                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                                OCTOBER 29, 2000


                                   (UNAUDITED)

                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


NOTE 1:       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year. The information furnished
herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly
present the results of operations and financial position for the interim
periods.

NOTE 2:       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dave & Buster's,
Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated balance sheet data presented herein for January 30, 2000 was
derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year then ended. The preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management
to make certain estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by
the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could
differ from these estimates. The Company's one industry segment is the ownership
and operation of restaurant/entertainment Complexes (a "Complex" or "Store")
under the name "Dave & Buster's" which are principally located in the United
States.

NOTE 3:       LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company completed a new $110,000 senior secured revolving credit and term
loan facility. This facility replaced the existing $100,000 secured revolving
line of credit. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" under Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

NOTE 4:       RESTRICTED STOCK

In April 2000, the Company amended and restated the Dave & Buster's, Inc. 1995
Stock Incentive Plan to allow the Company to grant restricted stock awards.
These restricted stock awards will fully vest at the end of the vesting period
or the attainment of one or more performance targets established by the Company.
Recipients are not required to provide consideration to the Company other than
render service and have the right to vote the shares and to receive dividends.

In June 2000, the Company issued 257,000 shares of restricted stock at a market
value of $6.75 which vest at the earlier of attaining certain performance
targets or seven years. The total market value of the restricted shares, as
determined at the date of issuance, is treated as unearned compensation and is
charged to expense over the vesting period. Year to date, the charge to expense
for the unearned compensation was $120.

NOTE 5:       CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise in the
ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, based on
discussions with and advice of legal counsel, the amount of ultimate liability
with respect to these actions will not materially affect the consolidated
results of operations or financial conditions of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

Results of Operations - 13 Weeks Ended October 29, 2000 Compared to 13 Weeks
Ended October 31, 1999

Total revenues increased to $79,244 for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2000 from
$58,988 for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an increase of $20,256 or 34%.
The increase in revenues was attributable to incremental revenues from six
complexes opened after August 1, 1999 and increased revenues at comparable
stores. Revenues at comparable stores increased 8.4% for the 13 weeks ended
October 29, 2000. The increase in comparable stores revenues was attributable to
a 3% overall price increase and a higher average check. Total revenues for the
13 weeks ended October 29, 2000 from licensing agreements were $262.

Cost of revenues increased to $14,783 for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2000
from $11,600 for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an increase of $3,183 or
27%. The increase was principally attributable to the 34% increase in revenues.
As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 18.6% in the 13 weeks
ended October 29, 2000 from 19.7% in the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999 due to
lower food, beverage and amusement costs offset by a shift in the revenue mix.

Operating payroll and benefits increased to $24,780 for the 13 weeks ended
October 29, 2000 from $19,145 for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an
increase of $5,635 or 29%. As a percentage of revenue, operating payroll and
benefits decreased to 31.3% in the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2000 from 32.5% in
the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999 due to higher variable labor costs offset by
lower fixed labor and fringe benefit costs.

Other store operating expenses increased to $22,500 for the 13 weeks ended
October 29, 2000 from $16,427 for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an
increase of $6,073 or 37%. As a percentage of revenues, other store operating
expenses were 28.4% of revenues in the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2000 as
compared to 27.8% of revenues in the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999. Other
store operating expenses were higher due to increased utility and repair and
maintenance costs.

General and administrative increased to $4,811 for the 13 weeks ended October
29, 2000 from $3,681 for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an increase of
$1,130 or 31%. The increase over the prior comparable period resulted from
increased administrative payroll and related costs for new personnel, and
additional costs associated with the Company's growth. As a percentage of
revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.1% in the 13 weeks
ended October 29, 2000 from 6.2% in the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $6,706 for the 13 weeks ended October
29, 2000 from $5,246 for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an increase of
$1,460 or 28%. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization
decreased to 8.5% from 8.9% for the comparable period.

Preopening costs increased to $709 for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2000 from
$1,540 for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999. The timing of complex openings
affects the amount of such costs in any given period.

Interest expense increased to $2,587 for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2000
from $988 for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999. The increase was primarily
due to higher debt and interest rates in fiscal year 2000.

The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2000 was 36.7% as
compared to 36.6% for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 1999.

from $176,305 for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an increase of $58,354 or
33%. The increase in revenues was attributable to incremental revenues from ten
complexes opened after February 1, 1999 and increased revenues at comparable
stores. Revenues at comparable stores increased 3.5% for the 39 weeks ended
October 29, 2000. The increase in comparable stores revenues was attributable to
a 3% overall price increase and a higher average check. Total revenues for the
39 weeks ended October 29, 2000 from licensing agreements were $729.

Cost of revenues increased to $43,337 for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2000
from $33,295 for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an increase of $10,042 or
30%. The increase was principally attributable to the 33% increase in revenues.
As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 18.4% in the 39 weeks
ended October 29, 2000 from 18.9% in the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999 due to
lower beverage and amusement costs.

Operating payroll and benefits increased to $71,336 for the 39 weeks ended
October 29, 2000 from $54,814 for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an
increase of $16,522 or 30%. As a percentage of revenue, operating payroll and
benefits decreased to 30.4% in the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2000 from 31.1% in
the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999 due to higher variable labor costs offset by
lower fixed labor and fringe benefit costs.

Other store operating expenses increased to $66,111 for the 39 weeks ended
October 29, 2000 from $47,051 for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an
increase of $19,060 or 41%. As a percentage of revenues, other store operating
expenses were 28.2% of revenues in the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2000 as
compared to 26.7% of revenues in the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999. Other
store operating expenses were higher due to increased marketing and occupancy
costs at the stores.

General and administrative increased to $14,465 for the 39 weeks ended October
29, 2000 from $10,776 for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an increase of
$3,689 or 34%. The increase over the prior comparable period resulted from
increased administrative payroll and related costs for new personnel, and
additional costs associated with the Company's growth. As a percentage of
revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.2% in the 39 weeks
ended October 29, 2000 from 6.1% in the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $18,688 for the 39 weeks ended
October 29, 2000 from $14,109 for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999, an
increase of $4,579 or 32%. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and
amortization was 8.0% for the both periods.

Preopening costs increased to $4,266 for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2000
from $4,697 for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999. The timing of complex
openings affects the amount of such costs in any given period.

Interest expense increased to $6,126 for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2000
from $2,026 for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999. The increase was primarily
due to higher debt and interest rates in fiscal year 2000.

The effective tax rate for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2000 was 36.7% as
compared to 36.8% for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows from operations increased to $25,875 for the 39 weeks ended October
29, 2000 from $16,089 for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 1999. The increase was
attributable to increases in income before cumulative effect of a change in an
accounting principle, depreciation and amortization and an increase in
operational receipts.

The Company secured a new $110,000 senior secured revolving credit and term loan
facility. This facility replaced the existing $100,000 secured revolving line of
credit. The facility includes a five-year revolver and five and seven-year term
debt. Borrowing under the facility bears interest at a floating rate based on
LIBOR or, at the Company's option, the bank's prime rate plus, in each case, a
margin based upon financial performance (10.25% at October 29, 2000) and is
secured by all assets of the Company. The new facility has certain financial
covenants including a minimum consolidated tangible net worth level, a maximum
leverage ratio, minimum fixed charge coverage and maximum level of capital
expenditures. At October 29, 2000, $2,578 was available under this facility.

The Company's plan is to open four complexes in fiscal 2000 and 2001,
respectively. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures will be
approximately $45,000 and $48,000 for 2000 and 2001, respectively. The Company
intends to finance this development with cash flow from operations, the senior
